Love this! I substituted whole milk for water (I couldn't bring myself to put water in chocolate sauce) and it was delicious. Took about 5 minutes total to make and had all the of the ingredients already!

I agree with the prior reviewer that this was too sweet, even though I reduced the amount of sugar . I added an ounce of unsweetened baker's chocolate (i had doubled the recipe) and it thickened a bit more and took the edge off the sweetness (also added a bit of vanilla as I like the flavor of vanilla with chocolate. The recipe is good because it doesn't have a lot of butter and cream - two ingredients that add a lot of heaviness even though they enhance the texture. I served it with a ginger cake and it was a good match.

I was looking for a
chocolate sauce for
a friend who doesn't
eat dairy. The
texture is great.
I thought is was
too sweet, so I
added more cocoa
powder and water,
also added brandy
and the taste was
superb. Served with
espresso angel food
cake and received
lots of compliments.
